Justin Black scored 22 points to lead Morgan State (3-9). Anthony Hubbard added 15 points off the bench and 7-1 center Ian Chiles finished with 13 points and five blocks.

Amardi, a 6-8 senior forward, came in averaging 6.4 points but eclipsed that mark midway through the first half. Amardi finished with 12 points in the opening 20 minutes and Young had 17 as the Ducks surged to a 54-30 lead at the break.

The Ducks blew the game open by holding Morgan State to one field goal in the final 6 1/2 minutes of the first half. The Bears essentially played Oregon even in the second half, outscoring the Ducks 46-43.
